Kinematics \(\kappa\iota\nu\eta\mu\alpha~=~\)motion description of motion disregarding forces.
Dynamics \(\delta\upsilon\nu\alpha\mu\iota\zeta~=~\)force motion of bodies under the action of forces.
As their \(1^{st}\) law, Galileo and Isaac realized that if they (and no one else and nothing else) disturbs an apple, its velocity will not change: \[ \frac{d}{dt}\vec{v}=0\quad. \] Seemingly more rebellious, Isaac ventured to quantify the effect of an external disturbance of the state of an object.
So Isaac proposed for the way the apple's state changes:
For the instantaneous change of state at time \(t\):
Isaac: \(\frac{d}{dt}m=0\), and my \(2^{nd}\) law reads:
Three equations which are succinctly written as one vector equation:
This equation marks (\(\sim 1686\)) the onset of a new era in science:
Visualization in a free-body diagram:
Pulleys, ropes are assumed massless, and ropes glide frictionless on pulleys. At each point inside a rope the tension in opposite directions is equal. At the connection points to an object, the ropes exert the force of tension on those objects.
